Hey, Howdy? I just sometime back. You were taking a test. How did you do? I haven't taken it yet. I decided to just work on problems I got wrong and problems I got right for the wrong reasons. You guys (Duttsit and CompanY) should really buy access to the challenge archives (not to sound like an advertisement) - they are great! The problems are pretty tough. Having said that, I completed challenge 7 from the archives on Saturday morning. I got blown away - 70th percentile (compared to the folks that took it during the challenge). So I'm going through the damage now. Unfortunately, I can't post any of the challenges, I just read the sticky asking that people not post challenge materials. I apologize for having had posted some in the past. _________________ "Wow! Brazil is big." â€”George W.

I got slaughtered (in Titleist term). I need to avoid silly mistakes (reading b/a as a/b, missing positive integer as integer etc etc). Titleist, i never did any challenge. Do you think they are worth practice from the GMAT viewpoint. I heard they are much tougher than what we see in real test even when you scoring high.

Do you think they are worth practice from the GMAT viewpoint. I heard they are much tougher than what we see in real test even when you scoring high. I definitely think the challenges are worth it. SOme questions are very difficult while other questions I think are quite reasonable. Although Duttsit, I think you'd probably get close to a perfect score on quant section of the real exam. You are probably just better off working on verbal. _________________ "Wow! Brazil is big." â€”George W.

\$12 = 6

ans: A

yeah..what test did you beat?

yes. write number into prime number factorization form. if:
x = a^u * b^v * c^z

the total number of factors: (u+1) * (v+1) * (z+1)

for example:
90 = 3^2 * 2 * 5
total number of factors: (2+1) * (1+1) * (1+1) = 12
